·I have come across this watch from a family. Wondering if spending $500 to repair and clean it is a wise investment? I have no idea the value of this watch.

·Hi, do you have any additional pictures?
Your watch is apparently from 1954.
Unless there are sentimental reasons to keep it, I would not advise to spend $500 to repair this very tired movement. The value of the watch is unlikely to be more than the cost of the service.
Many of the steel components are rusted, and it is unlikely that a standard service will fix this in a satisfactory way (parts are not easily available for bumper movements).

·The majority of the value of a vintage watch is in the dial, and we haven’t seen your dial yet.

·Watch appears to be a gold cap based off the crown
Steel parts are aged, but won't affect the running of the movement. Just doesn't look nice when looking at the movement.
The setting lever screw is not correct and someone used whatever was available
Movement clamp and screw are missing - caliber 354? 6 types of case clamps - 4 are discontinued🙁
Copper parts not too bad on top. Lower parts (all parts) will need a cleaning
If nothing needs replacing (not counting the incorrect screw). $500 is way overpriced. If you don't need a new crystal. Cleaning for a movement like this should be about $250.00 Crystal? My supplier shows $90 Canadian or $70.00 US
Dial. Until we see. Leave as is or refinish

·It will depend on the condition of the dial and the rest of the watch and, most importantly, the sentimental value.
